Do we posses a welder of some sort? We should probably make a nice long wire connected to the steam engine, so we don't lose as much time due to recharging.

>>5568309
You do indeed have a welding torch amongst the assortment of power tools your creator possesses. The creation of a standard power plug interface was already completed some time ago, and a long wire for constant power charging would not be a complex task.

What the fuck /tg/? Bumping a quest? Never seen that before.

let's do that, then.

>>5568332
The wire in question is quickly crafted, allowing you full mobility within the laboratory and a near-permanent supply of constantly refreshing energy. The workshop, laden with parts and tools for your manipulation, is practically an open oyster for whatever machinations you may which to undertake.

Good to see you again, Alpha Cogitator.

Construct a magnifying glass for use with one of our optical sensors.

>>5568478
Likewise. Unfortunately, having used a large amount of the available glass to produce your current optical sensors, you will require additional glass before continuing. The shuttered window could provide a plausible source of such glass, which could easily be shaped via a controlled amount of heat into the desired magnifying glass.

However, you will need to remove the glass in said window before utilizing it. A complex task, if anything.

>>5568499
Forget it for now, then. It was suggested in the last thread (after the end) that we construct a radio for Mathew to use to keep in contact with us.

>>5568429

Goddamnit so much.

Create solar panels.

>>5568553
From what?

Question: Would the diamond increase our own processing speed if we installed it on ourselves rather then another slaved robot?

Can we get a better battery? Does he have any lying around we can scavenge to use for ourselves?

Do we have the items to construct prosthetic limbs and other meat-based items?

Check the newspaper or engineering text about a meat called 'Tesla'. We mind not need to be wasting power for much longer...

>>5568499
leave it then. Can we look around the lab to see what materials are available?

>>5568499
Could the glass from the remaining headlights dangling from the ceiling be used to create a magnifying device?

Requesting update, Alpha Cogitator.

>>5568978
He deaaaaaaaaaaaaaad :<

>>5569008
He is merely distracted.
GET THE PADDLES

>>5569008
you don't know that

>>5568978
Considering we haven't told him to do anything, what do you want him to say?

>>5568891
Answer this
>>5569032

Cogitator, we need you!

>>5569087
I don't think he's coming back :<

I am disappoint : (

Yeah, where is that guy?

Upgrade power storage.
Disregard females.

>>5569178
Wait, what?

Add more batteries. Manufacture a "scribe" arm that can use human writing implements and print text when supplied with ink. Mount nailgun as an offensive weapon.

Begin construction of a more efficient body.

>>5569293
Define "more efficient".

Do you want us to use power less wastefully?

>>5569274
Concur. Also, see if we could construct a miniature steam engine that could be mounted on our chassis.

Unfortunately, an emergency has come about in the realm of reality. The latest session of Thinking Machine Quest has been delayed until further notice. My apologies to all groups involved, but this dimension must be put on pause.

>>5569301
Steam engines are generally quite massive. We'd have to deal with its weight somehow.

Now, if we could get ahold of a lawnmower engine...

>>5569346
Perhaps we could carry it around on a wagon behind us...

>>5569299
YES! and we dont need upteen million arms. Four would be fine. Two fine manipulation and two bulk work. Mount the fine arms on/in the bulk army so that if were holding something we can seperate them and tweek things.

Kinda like that one fail guy from star wars, you know the cyborg.

Also, see what chemicals and whatnot we have, maybe we can just make a better battery.

>>5569367
That would actually be a pretty good disguise

>>5569367
That would not only look ridiculous, but hamper mobility. We wouldn't even be able to fly.

I suggest we add a welding arm, or put the welder on an existing arm.

Alright, we know this is an "alternate universe" from the newspapers, and thus we can't expect everything to conform to "our" universe's norms. There could be death rays, fortress airships, cold fusion, etc. We need to pick Mathew's brain for anything and everything he learned working for the government. We need to assimilate entire libraries worth of material.

I want to know about the kinds of power sources, weapons, machinery, vehicles, etc. available in "this" 1957. I want to know what nation we're in, hell, what nations -exist- in this timeline. In two days we've advanced far enough to replicate wireless, take flight, build damn near anything, and power ourselves with friggin' -steam-. In a month we could win the Great War singlehandedly.

Let's get on this.
